...can be used to overturn established legal precedence, ad infinitum.

Just a non-lawyers take on the coming decisions.

Unlike the others, she flat-out refused to answer anything at all regarding Roe, even going so far as not saying it was precedent.

polluted, so filled w/ the stench of partisanship, of a pathetic smell of distrust, of not standing above the partisan fray that goes w/ our usual partisan politics.

I had faith in the Supreme Court but no longer.

Anyone wearing a black Supreme Court gown actually makes me sick now. Any judgement passed by them is now subject to massive distrust, made w/ no rationale, other than pathetic partisan thought.
